API and Backend


We have not fully documented this yet, but you can join on FreeNode IRC at #votereport, or online at a Campfire chat. Email Billy Gray for an invite CampFire invite: wgray [at] zetetic [dot] net

 

The backend is driven by a Rails application which hosts several mechanisms for gathering report data.

You can review the source code (and contribute) by checking out this Github project:

API

We intend to build an API which will allow developers to build visualizations and request specific data.  We will generally lean towards support of open standards, like KML, GeoRSS, and GeoJSON, and are open to requests and ideas.  What could you use?

 

Feel free to post feature requests here.
